When we think of the Disney princesses often times its the ageless version seen in the film that are beautifully contrasted by these Disney illustrations by the artist known as the pseudonym Life, Art and Times. These images showcase what the princesses would look like if they were their actual age today.
Life, Art and Times' hand drawn illustrations give viewers a slight rude awakening when it comes to their favorite animated characters by showcasing how time has aged their youthful appearances. The artist spares no special treatment giving these princesses wrinkles, fine lines and grey hair in a tasteful way. The princesses are dated on the basis of the film's airing and their assumed age and drawn accordingly. For example, Snow White would be 92 years old today and so she is shown with white hair.
